I discovered today that my most played game on Steam is Astronner with about 500 hours, and my second most played is Surviving Mars with about 500 hours.

  1. RDR2 - 2,225 hours
  2. MGSV - 1,388 hours
  3. TW3 - 645 hours

I'm sure SMW is the real 3rd. place, but I don't have the numbers.

Ultima Online for sure. Glad the time wasn't tracked...

Guild Wars 2; I'm at 6-7k hours or so. Been playing a lot less lately; I'm not sure if that's the recent content, or if it's me getting tired of it. I don't have a ton of objectives I'm interested in completing at this point; some "nice to have"s, but at this point any character or build I could possibly want to play, I have just about everything I need for. Mostly find myself logging in twice a week to do guild night with friends, and that's it.

Otherwise, GTA V, which surprises pretty much everyone I know except the friends I play with. It's just such an easy game to spend hoursblowing each other up or racing around or whatever in; really a fantastic game to play with friends.

Probably Planetside 2, an online MMOFPS game.

Next are probably: (Don't know in which order)

FTL: Faster than Light (with Multiverse Mod)

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

A small multiplayer game called "Red Crucible 2" (browser based FPS game that runs in Unity Plugin, game's now dead)

GTA V

GTA IV

Note: I don't have the times on these games because I might or might not have "downloaded" some of them outside of official stores... so its just based on how vividly I remember them.

I used to love PS2. Fallen away over the years, but I have fond memories of being in 4 different team speaks at any given time relating messages. It was always a great time.

Iโ€™ve noticed a bunch of dev work has been done recently. Is it worth getting back into?

[โ€“] kionite231@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Pokemon Firered. One of my favorite childhood game.

[โ€“] limeaide@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Overall i've spent countless hours in minecraft and csgo for a close second

Recently tho I've been playing a lot of bloons and risk of rain 2. They're both really addictive

[โ€“] johnnyjayjay@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I don't know how much time I've spent in Minecraft, but it's probably over 1000 hours.

Second place certainly goes to LoL. They reset the statistics at some point but my guess is also close to 1000 (at some point I had like 700 and kept playing for a while).

I don't play either of those anymore though.

[โ€“] MrSlicer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Gtav on ps3 was a blast.

[โ€“] swnt@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Life.

9 months until your game finally goes beyond loading screen. You pay it permanently and cannot stop playing it - and if you intentionally stop playing, you can't play again. No savestates - which sucks for exploring alternatives. You also don't get asked whether you want to play or not as well - you just get thrown in. Also there is no character selection screen and you start with whatever stats, region, context, etc. you rolled.

However, it is definitely quite interesting and gives you really very realistic experiences. Did I mention, that it's much better in its immersion than all the AR/VR stuff and co? You even can properly smell and taste stuff there!

totally accurate battle simulator, i have a really strong morbid fascination ngl

[โ€“] Mikurei@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Path of Exile. It literally captures you once you take a grasp on game mechanics and find an interesting character build.

Oh boy, theres a lot to talk about chatacter building.

Theres no ARPG game in the market with such complexity in planning your character. Dopamine hits when you reach your build's peak and while you chase for milestones, like upgrading gear, leveling, bossing, etc. Leagues are breath of fresh air, introducing expansions + new content, also possibility to start a fresh character in fresh ladder & economy.

Playing PoE with pals in a guild and sharing milestones, moments, items & currency, helping each other with progression sucks you even further in.

Its so addictive that I've had to stop playing it, because it takes so much of your time. But I don't regret playing it. Good times.

CS:GO 5000+ hours wasted in my 20s

[โ€“] SarcastiSnark@lemmyverse.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

EverQuest 1. Diablo 1,2,and 3. Cities skylines. Forgot about terraria.

[โ€“] BaldrOdinson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

World of warcraft. Still true. I only played up through Crusade even. But it ate literally dozens of days of my life. I wouldn't say I regret that, as it was a learning experience for me. But I would definitely not have played wow if I could go back.

[โ€“] miles@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

ah i was struggling to come up with an answer, but it's probably still WoW for me too. solidarity, friend

My sister has more than 1000+ h in Sims 4

[โ€“] Fawzors@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 1 year ago

Continuum. I have more than 10 thousand hours on my main account, 3 thousand more on alts I do not have access anymore. Most of the time was afk or just being online since it had a chat and very lightweight. You can see top players by usage time on the trenchwars server website.

[โ€“] sirico@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Microsoft flight simulator thanks to slow internet and 200gb updates every time I play.

[โ€“] wiewiorek2137@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Stellaris almost 600 hours and Cities Skylines, around 400 h. Damn!

Looking at 600+ hours in Rimworld, and probably even more in Dwarf Fortress but 200+ since the Steam release, it wasn't tracked before.

[โ€“] gogosempai@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That would be Elden Ring. Spent 200+ hours on that game (might sound like rookie numbers but that was my first open world game, was just a casual gamer before that).

30 of those hours were spent on Malenia lol.

[โ€“] Relected@lemmy.kya.moe 2 points 1 year ago

hotline Miami, katana zero, ultra kill.

[โ€“] whysofurious@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Crudader Kings 2 at 1400 hours and Total War Warhammer II and I at 800 hours

[โ€“] nothendev@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Minecraft. 2.5 kilo hours

[โ€“] Bakkoda@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Diablo 2 from launch, I won't even guess the hours because it's over 10k easy and that's just not good. Path of Exile says 4k+ hours as well. I'm an old fart though.

AI (Alien Isolation)

Dunno if counts as a game really.. But about 4k hrs of VRChat - love the place and the friends I made there!

[โ€“] LemmyRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
